Hi,
I hope you reach your funding goal. I don't know what your reasons are for using MATLAB, but if it is for using its statistics package, then might I suggest using open source languages such as R or Python both of which are heavily documented and extensively used by statisticians and data scientist alike. This could allow you to use the money for research rather than use it for buying licenses. Just a suggestion, ignore if irrelevant.
Good Luck.
